I can't believe I'm replying 4 months later, but here we are ;___; was finishing up the rest of the school until November and then I flew home for my sister's wedding! And then I've just been in super relax mode with anime while I'm on break. I've been absolutely terrible at replying and just being on MAL in general over AL, I hope you forgive me.

How is that litter of cats doing nowadays? Do you still own most of them or did you find them other families? That sounds super cute though, I guess I can picture you as a cat lady now hehe.

My family doesn't look down that much on anime, they just really don't know what to think of it. They just know I really like it and they say I should go to Japan because of it lol (even though there's way more in Japan than just that) but hey I don't mind. You still watching anything with your mom?

About Inuyasha, it hasn't been touched since Summer ;___; I hope I get back to it soon.

Oh and of course, I LOVE the Mariko picture. Best Oniisama e... girl 4ever <33

Here, I'll do it again. -wave- :P you can't see me but take my word for it

Killua is indeed the best. It makes me super happy to see him on your #1 as well. Words can't express how jealous I am that you got your family members into any sort of anime, let alone a great one like HxH. I've had a few close friends also call him Kahlua, but at least Kahlua is sweet like Killua himself <3. I haven't read the manga past the anime (fake fan I know) because I'm scared I'll get attached before waiting an eternity for another chapter. Not to mention I love where the anime ended.

It's going well. Haven't watched Inuyasha with my best friend for awhile, but we need to get back to it soon. I'd love to start Urusei Yatsura hopefully in the fall when I'm back home for the winter.

lol I was also waving in sync with your GIF, I kid you not.

Hello there!

-wave-

Hey, thanks a lot for your post on sources for the AWC.

i like ur favorites :o

It's still quite historically accurate. I'm a big Sengoku Era buff so when episodes touched on that period it was nice to see anime-versions of stuff I've never seen an anime touch upon before. Like the Battle of Suriagehara. Have you watched the History of Japan by Bill Wurtz? It's a good funny crash course.

No problem. FYI Neko Neko Nihonshi is a bit of a whiplash to watch as they jump back and forth between different historical periods. It was hard to keep up mentally resetting yourself every 9 minutes.

that AWC 18 blog post is really helpful, thank you for making it

Hi :)

Last time, I looked to your list, but I didn't read your "about me".

I totally agree with you! For me the 70/80s decades are the best of the shōjo, for the art that is oftentime quite gorgeous, but also because of the content of the manga, it was the most "experimental" period of the shōjo, with the Year 24 and all.
Although I also enjoy the art of the 50/60s decades and the 90s one. But all those post-2000… they're ugly. >.>


Anyway, considering the "glittering", Paros no Ken/Georgie are the most ones in the works I mentioned, but any manga from that artist could work too.
With my boyfriend, we often joke about the "shōjo beam" of those manga, about those eyes that are far too shinny, like there will be a laser beam coming out from them.

Also, maybe you should look at this club. The club is dead, but the manga relations might be interesting for finding some gorgeous old shōjo.

But, when you asked about some recommendations, you mentioned the sci-fi manga. If I understand well, you usually don't enjoy sci-fi except "really really good" ones?
Although that's funny, since Moto Hagio is foremost a sci-fi mangaka (but she does a ton of other stuffs too). Since you choose her as "one of your fav' mangaka" for the challenge.

What makes a "good sci-fi" for you?
Personally, I tend to enjoy the sci-fi, so it was a big plus for Hagio.


~And good luck with the Japanese. You're probably far more advanced than me. But I started recently, and it's quite hardcore. >.>
But I don't have any choice anymore anyway, since I brought a tons of old shōjo manga during my travel in Japan, and I really want to read them!

Utena + Clannad + Killua + Fuuko + Miki + Shizuo + Yotsuba ... Maybe you're a goddess <3
